OLYMPIA — Sarah Harris goes through the motions of her day trying hard not to think about what life was like a year ago — or what it would be like now if not for "the incident."
She feels guilty leaving the house, even if only for a couple of hours to visit her mom or sister, to run errands, or go grocery shopping. She still cries every night.
Her husband, the first boy she kissed and the only man she's ever loved, suffered a catastrophic brain injury when his head slammed into a concrete wall after a brief footchase with two King County sheriff's deputies on Mother's Day 2009. He's now confined to bed, unable to talk, walk or do anything for himself.
Christopher Sean Harris spent six weeks at Harborview Medical Center, where his family was encouraged to remove him from life support because doctors didn't think he'd ever come out of a coma. But he did, and was transferred to an Edmonds nursing home in June.
Sarah Harris, who worked as a manager for Nordstrom and dreamed of becoming a buyer for the department store, gave up her job to care for her husband.
"I loved my job, and I miss it all the time," she said. "But I knew there was no way I could go back to work and leave him alone in a nursing home all day. There was no decision to even make."

Yep. Not a used condom. You nailed me on that.
Then what force moved the victim by his left arm onto his stomach between :12 and :18, causing the the injured subject's head to hit the floor on the floor in the process? At :12 of the video the subject is lying on his back, his head having just dropped to the floor in that unmistakable, sickening way that clearly indicates unconsciousness, in full view of the cop that had just sent him hurtling backwards eight feet into the concrete wall.
And what what power exerted upon the unconscious subject with a head injury caused him to be moved upon his back again at 1:28?
Cordially,
You are kidding me, right? Present the direct evidence you have that he discarded drugs. That isn’t moving the goal posts, troll. That is challenging you to actually back up your Bravo Sierra. You don’t have squat, other than the Obama bull squeeze you have posted out thus far.
Direct, troll. Or the admin mod gets notified that you are trying to get JimRob sued for the crap you have posted. It is his site, n00b. Not yours.
You might enjoy this thread. They are blaming the 16 year old that got beat up for being in downtown Seattle at 2 AM in the morning.
Did you look up the definition of double jeopardy or do you accept the one I posted?
Okay. Now I hate you. That is not a good thing, n00b. If you are going to play this game, you are definitely gonna have to get a brain.
The 16 year old doesn’t look to be guilty. He screwed up by being trusting. But your heroes the police weren’t there. They weren’t there to save this citizen, nor do they want to be. It isn’t in their interests. They want to procure revenue for the State. Statists are blaming the victim, because they aren’t American. They think they are, but the Chinese police have more in common with them.
Just like you, n00b.
The one you posted on double jeopardy is BS. Try again, n00b.

Under Blockburger, two distinct statutory provisions do not constitute the "same offense" for double jeopardy purposes if each provision requires proof of a fact which the other does not (284 US 299, 304). In the case of delayed death, Blockburger does not bar a second prosecution for homicide following conviction of assault or another nonhomicide offense because the element of death distinguishes the two offenses (Rivera, 10 NY2d 100, 116). Defendant does not claim that he is entitled to greater protection under the State constitutional double jeopardy prohibition (NY Const, Art I, § 6). We therefore reject both his State and Federal constitutional claims.
He was found guilty.
And the judges were as wrong as two left testicles. You might believe the ‘justice’ system, but most of us do not.
And the significance of that is lost on you.
Congrats. Makes you a Tory of 1775.
People like you usually got hanged, or tarred and feathered.
Tell me, troll. Which do you want?
I think he was convicted by a jury. Either that or he confessed.
Well said.
I’m sure your fellow Marines would just love to know that yours and their personal safety was not a concern to you, just getting the job done was.
As far as ego-driven jerkoff’s whining about someone getting hurt.....the only whining I see are from ego-driven, cop-hating jerk-off’s here that refuse to acknowledge the suspects culpability and criminal activity (YES DRUGS) in the video.
“There is no evidence of any drugs being involved here. The victim was not charged with any crime involving drugs, and there is no evidence that the police report contains information concerning drug possession or the sale or purchase of any drugs by the victim.”
That is because the cops did not see him toss an object. The drugs were never recovered. We see it in the video though. Any FAIR minded person would know it was drugs. What do you think it was, an application for a job?
“I see evidence of an officer using far more than the necessary amount of force.”
Really? By shoving a suspect who just pulled his hands out of his pocket? Are you a Police Tactics expert or an expert on the Justifiable use of force?
“I would also be interested in knowing what why there are folks here who feel that the injuries received were justified because the victim was away from his home, or that he traveled by taxi, or because of who he lives with.”
Whoever said that? It was an unintentional consequence of the suspect running from the cops that is a tragedy. Of Course we are not saying he DESERVED it. We are saying he is RESPONSIBLE for what led to it.
“When our right to lawfully go about our business, where ever that business may take us is subject to question by the police, and when massive bodily injury is justified by the police and their supporters because we are not where the officer thinks we “SHOULD” be... then I fear for our society.”
He was pointed out to the cops by a witness as a suspect in a crime. At that point he no longer has the right to go about his business, especially to RUN from the cops. The rest of your thought here has nothing to do what this case but is nonsensical ramble.
Stop your momentum? get him down? FIRST you need to confirm he IS a criminal, not an innocent bystander...it’s a little too late after permanent injuries are inflicted to find out he is NOT a criminal and IS innocent. That is why you should always maintain self-control when dealing with the public as a police officer. Always.
Dude was IDed by women as person in a fight. Policeman tries to question dude. Dude makes a break and 2 1/2 blocks later cop catches up to dude. Dude slows down, turns to face cop and reaches into his pocket. Not exactly an 'innocent bystander'.
and everyone ever ided by a woman on the street is actually a criminal? right. innocent until proven guilty is still the way our laws work, the cops can not circumvent that. the cops I work with do not use undue force, they have self control. that officer did not...when he slammed the man, he had turned and stopped. the officer did not respond in kind.
facts are a funny thing......bottom line is that they could NOT place him as one of the guys they were looking for and they had nothing criminal on him. he is, in fact, in the eyes of the law innocent....yet the cops inflicted deadly force. there are consequences to the use of force.
